Comments On Feb 08, 2014:I don't buy any other clutch cables other than Tusk. No reason to spend more money on the other brands, they are cheap and work.

What aren't missing are the fantastically rendered reconstructions. These hyper-paced cutscenes grant the viewer a visual reconstruction of events (or hypothesized events) as key evidence is uncovered. Amidst the droll pacing the rest of the game may assume, reconstructions inject a syringe full of adrenaline into the storyline. There is often a gory element incorporated into these cutscenes, contributing heavily to the Mature ESRB rating accompanying detective work in Sin City.
Through five scenarios you'll be scrounging to put cases together, much of which stem from conversations with victims (if they are alive) and suspects (if they are cooperative.) Many times suspect cooperation is not required, and superlative evidence will allow you to acquire a warrant to search a location or question suspects. Conversation is where the dreaded linear structuring of a CSI game takes root. There are typically only one or two routes to take during any particular questioning, with no reward or penalty associated from posing one question over another. It keeps the story flowing in a sense that feels superficial, when a more multiple choice approach would be much more gratifying. Conversations end up being a patronizing doggy treat when they should be scenarios testing your interrogation skills.
If you manage to corner a suspect in one of those sterile interrogation rooms, and stack up sufficient corroborative evidence, then you may be duly compensated by hearing your prime suspect spill the beans. Soon after, you'll reunion with Grissom who'll no doubt commend you for your stellar efforts. But before you receive your evaluation he's got a few questions for you. Grissom sets you up with five multiple choice questions that will also play into your final score.
Achieving a high enough final grade, you'll be treated to a huge handful of unlocked bonus material: behind-the-scenes interviews, conceptual art, etc. You'll likely unlock every item if playing at the beginner level, and there's virtually zero replayability once you've finished a mission, so completing a case from higher difficulty settings gather no greater fruits.
Graphically there is little to complain about. The renditions you see on screen are all very convincing likenesses of the CSI crew, although everyone is firmly rooted to one or two motionless locations, and the lip movements (along with their subtitles) don't match up 100 percent. The voice acting isn't quite on par with the show's caliber, but Grissom and his squad deliver a decent act nonetheless. The static environments are assembled logically and bits of evidence are brushed seamlessly into the backgrounds.
Notoriously missing from the game's intro theme is the classic "Who Are You" from The Who. Instead there are the technovibe mood-setting compositions from John M. Keane who is currently in his fourth season with CSI. The indoor and outdoor ambience of each scene is interspersed with appropriate background noise, and Keane's haunting synth sounds take the backseat as necessary.
Collecting actual evidence is fairly easy after your first go-round, and interrogations are a walk in the park. To wit, CSI is all about analyzing orgies of evidence. Fans of the series already know this and will be thrilled to take part in the action, while this uneven focus may alienate non-fans. With no gunfights and no car chases and no flashy explosions in this cop show, CSI seems the antithesis of a Bruckheimer production (try Bad Boys II, try Pirates of the Caribbean, or try Armageddon for some typical Bruckheimer fare.) Make no mistake: Dark Motives is a commendable effort in translating a hit TV series onto a PC screen. CSI enthusiasts can't pass this title up, but the hype could easily be lost on the other 260 million Americans that don't watch the show.

C.S.I.: Dark Motives
Navigate the City That Never Sleeps with the original CSI cast through five twist-and-turn cases. Followers of the series will find the scenarios true to form, but outsiders may be left searching for a motive to buy into the show's success.

The New Smoky Eye1 of 11
By Zoe Schaeffer
Now a classic look, the smoky eye is undeniably gorgeous. But all that black can feel heavy at times. That's why we welcome fall's colorful alternatives: Shadows in chocolate, taupe and burgundy are easy to wear and flattering on most, but give that same sultry effect as the original style.
Flying Colors2 of 11
"A smoky eye doesn't have to be black," explains celebrity makeup artist for Physician's Formula Joanna Schlip. "Today's colorful versions in navy, brown and even lavender look more modern." A fine example of this new look? The hazy chocolate shadow paired with glossy mauve lips at Anna Sui's bohemian chic show.
Bright Eyes3 of 11
Kristen Stewart matched her smoky green-blue shadow to her light eyes for a youthful but sophisticated look. Take note: Light shadows can still look sultry — as Kristen effortlessly demonstrates.
Simply Put4 of 11
Calvin Klein proved that even soft taupe eyes can look smoldering by teaming them with slicked-to-the-side ponies and the line's famously minimal designs. We're not sure it gets any more modern than this.
Copper Tone5 of 11
For his fall show, all eyes were on Alexander Wang not only for his edgy, urban collection, but for his trend-setting beauty. (We have him to thank for last season's "side braid" craze!) His use of warm brown and burnt red creamy shadows created an unexpected smoky look that was (not surprisingly) ahead of the curve.
All That Glitters6 of 11
When it comes to rocking the red carpet, Nicole Richie doesn't miss a beat and this head-turning ensemble's no exception. We think her gunmetal gray shadow was the best accessory choice for her silver sequin gown
High Brow7 of 11
At Vera Wang, blended sandy shadows were accented by severe brows, creating a powerful look. But for an even bolder nighttime effect, try adding a bit of shimmer along the lash line.
Restraining Order8 of 11
Forget the black-rimmed eyes that populated the red carpet in seasons past. Angelina Jolie proves that soft and subtle is elegant and in. But then again, we think she'd look stunning in a paper bag.
Wine Tasting9 of 11
Deep burgundy shadow was swiped across brown liner for a super warm effect at Roberto Cavalli. And we can't help but notice the gorgeous gold highlighter on the inner corners — one of our favorite tricks for making eyes look wider in a snap!
Mixed Metals10 of 11
Soft browns were blended with bronze and gold for Ashley Greene's show-stopping look on the red carpet. Keeping the rest simple (a nude lip and no liner) makes the look fresh.
Going Gray11 of 11
Muted gray lids, arched brows and a bit of highlighter gave Zoe Saldana an ethereal look at the Met Gala. We think adding simple, pulled-back hair and a sleek asymmetrical gown was a study in minimalist perfection.

I taught myself to crochet while waiting for the birth of my second child in 1969. Since then, I…Read Moreha ve collected patterns from all kinds of places. Most of my patterns are so old, they are considered 'vintage' and are coming back in style. To find a good assortment of free patterns just google "free crochet patterns." If you buy a pattern book, make sure directions for each stitch used are in the back of the book..with pictures. And don't overlook the free patterns on hooks in the yarn department of stores like "Hobby Lobby." After enough time, and practice, you can begin to design your own patterns. Most of mine are very simple and not by a pattern. Color assortments can take you a long way.

I would need to see the blanket to determine if I can duplicate it. If so, I would be glad to work with you.

UF drops series to Auburn
Published: Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 4:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 13, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Less than a day after needing a late homer to steal a win from Auburn, the long ball came back to haunt Florida in its second straight SEC series loss.
Up Next
The Gators close their regular season with a three-game series at Georgia beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Following four scoreless innings, the Tigers (31-20, 11-16 SEC) found home runs from two different players and forced the Gators (28-25-13-14 SEC) to use four pitchers in Auburn's 4-1 series-clinching victory on Sunday.
In the sixth inning, Florida made two pitching changes to replace starter Eric Hanhold, who allowed Auburn to open scoring in the fifth with a soaring solo homer to left by Damek Tomscha.
While Hanhold gave up four hits and struck out two, UF coach Kevin O'Sullivan had to dig deep into his bullpen to find relief after Tomscha's leadoff blast — his team-high seventh of the season.
After freshman Jay Carmichael put runners on second and first to open the six, he was pulled for lefty reliever Danny Young, who promptly let Ryan Tella send a three-run shot over right field to give the Tigers a 4-0 lead.
Tella's home run was just his third all season for Auburn but his second of the series against Florida's pitchers.
The Gators, meanwhile, struggled to find offense on seven hits until Casey Turgeon's RBI double in the eighth inning that scored Richie Martin.
Florida squandered a bases loaded opportunity later in the inning, when Josh Tobias, who hit a game-winning homer Saturday night against Auburn, grounded out to second to end the Gators' threat.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Sampled at the brewery in the tasting room before a brewery tour today.
Dark brown with ruby highlights, almost cola in colour. Light brown head is dense and has staying power. Gobs of lacing down the sides.
Rich malts in the aroma. Fruit cake, chocolate, coffee.
Flavour is the same as the aroma. Rich and smooth, full bodied with moderate carbonation. Gives you the impression of a dense loaf of bread with touches of chocolate and coffee.
This one would be great on a cold winter night.
Serving type: on-tap

4.05/5 rDev +11%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall pint glass. Best by date of 05/30/14.
Appearance: Pours a deep brownish amber red with a moderate amount of bubbles. Solid three fingers of light tan head which slowly fade into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a lot of lacing.
Smell: A toasty and creamy malt forward aroma with hints of chocolate, caramel, and toast. Upfront toasted barley malts with hints of biscuit, grains, chocolate, coffee, toasted bread, caramel, nuts, toffee, yeast, and cream. Sweet hints of brown sugar. Background hints of earthy hops. A solid brown aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a toasty, roasty, and creamy malt driven taste with nice notes of toast, chocolate, and caramel. Toasted barley malts with upfront notes of biscuit, grains, chocolate, caramel, toasted bread, coffee, nuts, yeast, toffee, and cream. Sweet notes of brown sugar. Some earthy hops add some balance towards the finish. A nice brown ale taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy, slick, and pretty smooth with a fairly drying finish.
Overall: A solid take on a brown ale. Good biscuity malt presence with some chocolate and caramel notes.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
Appearance- dark brown with a big white head.
Smell- upfront is a nutty aroma and hints of coco and roasted malts.
Taste- light roasted malts, caramel, nuts, toffee and coca, and hints of coffee. A pretty enjoyable tasting beer.
Mouthfeel- is light-medium bodied but smooth and very easy to drink.
Overall- I enjoyed this brew. The flavor was good but it could have stranded out a little bit more, very drinkable tho. I would have this again.

3.54/5 rDev -3%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
I liked this beer even though it's about as average as it gets and would be a beer of last resorts in any restaurant I go to.
Because the appearance is rather boring with a russet brown body, a small flimsy head that fades quite quickly.
The aroma is really not bad but features a ton of toasted grains. Some mild roast can be pulled out too.
The taste is neither good nor bad it's just there. Hints of roast come into play as well as biscuits and cereal grains.
Drinks rough on the palate.
Turbo dog is a good beer with no real defects that I can see, its just an average but good beer.

3.44/5 rDev -5.8%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
A: Pours a clear but almost opaque very dark cola brown with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation along the edges of the glass and brown + amber highlights. The beer has a finger tall foamy tan head that reduces to a large patch of thin film and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light aromas of nutty and chocolate malts with just a touch of roasted malts.
T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of chocolate and nutty malts with a light presence of roasted malts. Very light hints of coffee and toffee flavors. Hints of bitterness in the finish which does not linger but very little hop presence.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Lightly creamy but overall thin.
O: Very easy to drink and sessionable with well hidden alcohol. Not complex but very enjoyable.

Aroma: Sweet malts, caramel, toffee. Some nuttiness.
Taste: Just like the aroma with sweet roasted malts, loads if toffee, caramel, and excellent nuttiness.

Overall, it is an great and balanced beer. Smell is nice and clean, mouthfeel is appropriately carbonated and adequately full. Not too sweet, bitter, or dark, but a good balance of all three. Fairly easy drinking and refreshing. Got a growler full of it.

A: Poured smooth. Small off white head that died really fast. Very little lacing. Amber to dark brown depending on the light.
S: Some toffee malt. Toasty chocolate notes. Certainly on the sweet side. Really liked how bright it is.
T: Holds really true to the smell with almost a smoky after taste.
M: Smooth but a little flat. But it sits well the more you have.
O: So far my favorite Abita. Low ABL % so it's kinda like a dark sweet session beer. Nice change up if you are getting hopped out. While there are better representations of this style this beer is typically a great value pick.

$3.50 bottle had at Three Blind Mice in Mt. Clemens, Michigan.
I've had Pecan Harvest from Abita and thought it was decent, and I feel the same about this beer... it's a decent brew that is interesting enough to warrant maybe drinking a couple of, but that's about it. There's a nice caramel/chocolate/roast combination going on with a fairly high carbonation that makes Turbodog an easy drinker, but nothing made me too excited about it. I must say I'm shocked "the Bros." gave this a 90 rating, because it's almost the very definition of an average beer to my taste buds... hey, different strokes. I'd have it again if offered, but probably wouldn't buy it again. A pretty average brown ale that's not all-too satisfying. But hey, the price is right.

Everytime I drink Abita I think I should be eating cajun or mexican food. It feels built for spice.
Today I enjoyed this in a wine balloon with a mushroom sausage stew and it was a great match.
It's up there with the better browns behind sixpoint, smutty and new holland (in my brown book).
A: Good color and head, thin head returns w swirl, minimal lacing. 3.5
S: Bready tortilla, malt, sweet corn. A bit laid back, but complementary to food. 3.5
T: Better than smell, best part of brew, nice arc, more dark fruit, more toffee, and just right bitterness, and INTERESTING, ORIGINAL, NOT RUN OF THE MILL. Very sessionable and would try again. 4
MF: Thins toward the end. OK. 3.5
O: mid pack 3.5
I must line all these up abita, avery, Sams, sixpoint, smutty and new holland ---- to blind taste test. The only problem is like the name, they are all a bit muddy and it may be hard to stack rank them which right now I do: sixpoint, new holland, smutty, abita, avery, sams from top to bottom.

Pours out dark as night and certainly darker that I would expect a brown ale to be. Has a nice brown two finger head and that's being conservative. Definitely some nice lacing here too. Smell is much more like a brown ale with some nice mellow malts, a little sweetness, and a tiny smell of hops but no bitterness. This is more malt forward too be sure on the nose. Taste is quite malty as in the nose with the sweetness I found in the nose but really nothing I can taste from the hop bill. This is just your basic brown ale. Mouthfeel is actually quite thick or more so than I expected. Overall this is an OK beer. I'm not a huge fan of brown ales so to be honest I might not be the best to rate this beer but it's not a bad beer, it's just not anything overwhelming in taste, smell, etc. Not a bad beer but nothing I would buy again. However this is close to style but just not anything special.

Turbodog is a murky sort of medium brown, but bright in its own way. The tan head that forms on top of it has pretty good retention, falling from almost one finger slowly down to a sturdy layer of foam that drops moderate patching.
A lot of it is what I'd expect from an English Brown: plenty of nutty character, a bit of toastiness to the malts, which of course are in charge all the way, and some caramel. There may not be as much mineral or dryness as I expect, but it does have an earthiness.
The taste has a little more of the overall character I expect, only because along with the earthy tone is a bit of tea leaf, an aspect of the light hops bitterness. It also comes out with a little more toffee sweetness with the caramel, and overall just a bit more to the depth, character and flavor.
The feel is good, though the medium body goes somewhat thin at times and, while crisp later, it starts off just fizzy. It does smooth out, and it goes semi-dry from beginning to finish.

I picked up a 6 pack of 12 oz bottles from my local grocery store and they are clearly marked with a freshness date. From the bottle to a pint glass out pours a dark brown ale with a mahogany hue. Swirling the tan head around the glass reveals a thin sticky lacing. A good inhale detects notes of a dark crystal malt in a brew of caramel, chocolate, dark fruits (kiwi, fig, prune or plum?) and a hops spice. The taste has a rich mouthfeel with a medium body. Dark-sticky-sweet malty caramel and chocolate flavors are dominant, with a light crisp hops bitterness that cleanses the pallet. To profile this English brown ale, it's not far off from today's stouts and porters, very similar to a Full Sail Session Black without the liquorice or a distant relative of Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale, one that lives just down the road.

I had this quite a few times years back when I was in Texas, so when I saw it on the shelf today I just had to grab one. Pours a crystal clear dark brown with bodacious ruby highlights and a huge crop of fluffy tan head. Aromas of chocolate and caramel with a hint of earth and toffee. The flavor is a bit fruity with English yeasty esters dominating. Caramel toffee and chocolate maltiness off set with a hint of earthy hop flavor. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a sweet slick creamy bubbly mouthfeel. I was worried that my palette may have changed in all these years, but this is actually a pretty good English style ale.

Appearance: Pours a deep brown with two fingers of fluffy white head that fades fairly quickly, nice chunky lacing on the glass.
Smell: Roasty notes dominate, with some chocolate, caramel malt and a bit of light hop character, nice smell for a brown ale overall.
Taste: Up front with some smoke and coffee, a bit of chocolate and some roasted barley. Some more bittersweet chocolate, very pleasant tasting.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation and a nice creaminess. Not exactly silky smooth but quite easy drinking and enjoyable.
Overall: Can't believe I hadn't tried this to date as it is a "classic" American craft beer in the minds of many. This is a good brown ale worth trying, and honestly one of Abita's better offerings.

Mild aroma. Roasted malts, hint of chocolate and fruit.

Taste is chocolate and caramel up front with faint coffee and hops at the back end.

A: Poured into an english style pint glass, a large four finger tall head was produced. The foam was made of dense khaki colored tiny bubbles that receded slowly leaving behind a nice thick coating on the side of the glass. The beer, at first glance, a dark brown to black color, but when held to a light it produces a reddish hue and is very transparent.
S: Nutty english like malt aroma with sweet milk chocolate, subtle nobble hops and a biscuity undertone.
T: Very low hop bitterness making the beer on the sweeter side. This beer is all about the malts. Chocolate, biscuity, nutty flavors come through distinctly but none over powering. very balanced in the malt department.
M: Moderate carbonation levels and body combined with a lower gravity make it very drinkable.
O: A solid english brown that doesn't get boring after a few pints.

12 oz bottle bought from City Swigger on E86th Street in Manhattan.
A - It's certainly brown! The head was uneven but creamy. The lacing was not thick.
S - The smell was not strong. The beer actually lacked aromatics. I had to work to find fragrances. Maybe a bit of a coffee scent eventually came through.
T - mostly milk chocolate but the turned into a sweet coffee. Pretty tasty.
M - very creamy and smooth. Nice on the tongue.

Served in a chilled pint (against my will) at Lucky's New Orleans. No freshness date.
A- Pours a dark brown color with a 1/4 inch tan head that doesn't retain long before fading to a thin ring around the edge of the glass and a half sheet of surface foam. Semi-resilient lacing leaves a thin ring behind on the glass.
S- Mild milk chocolate and some caramel, also mild. Moderate roastiness.
T- Flavor is even more mild than the aroma with some more faint chocolate and soft roast. Touch of oxidation. Super easy drinking for a malty beer.
M- Thin but still with some slick viscosity in the afterfeel. Medium carbonation and a fullish body.
O- Not one of the best brown ales out there but it's a good session beer if you're craving something darker.

Had this with a very spicy pizza, a 12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. A very dark almost opaque color with mild carbonation. A decent head that did not last very long but very nice lacing. I noted more toffee than chocolate notes in aroma and taste. Also a noticeable roasted malt flavor. This is a good malty ale right in line with other stouts and porters. I would buy it again.

Poured from a bottle into a New Belgium snifter. The pour is pretty clear and dark brown in color with red highlights. It sports a nice 2-3 fingers of fluffy off-white foam that has some really nice retention. On the nose I get some nice sweet, malty notes of caramel and nuts. There is also a faint hoppy spiciness, but it's properly subdued.
The beer has a medium body and mild malty flavor. The feel is a bit thin, but there are no objectionable flavors and no overabundance of hops. Up front are some nice toasty notes, toffee, and cola and at mid-palate a little bit of balancing hoppy bitterness comes in and provides a pleasant coffee-like flavor. The finish is slightly dry and underwhelming and there aren't a lot of lingering flavors, just a trace of bitterness.
Overall, a nicely-constructed brown ale that achieves a nice balance between sweet and bitter. I feel it could use a bit more malt flavor up front, but it's not bad at all.

Report: Pelicans deny trade rumor involving Cavaliers' No. 1 pick and Greivis Vasquez
The Cavaliers' aggressive efforts to explore their trade options for the No. 1 overall pick include an offer to the Pelicans for their No. 6 pick and point guard Greivis Vasquez, according to Hoopsworld.com.
The Cavs reportedly have been the catalyst for proposed trades involving the Timberwolves and Kevin Love, the Mavericks and their 13th overall pick, and the Kings' DeMarcus Cousins. The Cavs' proposed deal with the Pelicans reportedly includes Vasquez and draft picks.
MANNIX: Who's up, who's down in NBA Mock Draft 5.0?
From Hoopsworld.com:
Cleveland offered New Orleans this year's top overall pick in exchange for point guard Greivis Vasquez, the No. 6 overall pick and a 2014 first-round pick, according to sources.
The Cavaliers, like most teams, would love to acquire an additional first-round pick for the 2014 NBA Draft since that draft class is expected to be one of the most talented in recent memory.
No word on whether New Orleans has expressed interest in such a deal.
But a Pelicans official has denied the rumor, according to Sam Amico of Fox Sports.
Pelicans official denies reported trade suddenly make rounds on Internet involving Cavs. "Good grief. People are just making stuff up now."—
Sam Amico (@SamAmicoFSO) June 26, 2013
Vasquez averaged 13.9 points and nine assists in 78 games in the 2012-13 season and underwent ankle surgery in June.

About Keystone Insurers Group
Keystone Insurers Group (KIG) was incorporated in 1983 by four Central Pennsylvania Agencies who joined forces in an increasingly difficult, constricted market. Their number increased with the express purpose of realizing greater opportunities through association than they could realize individually.
While preserving the entrepreneurial spirit of the American Independent Insurance Agent, the founders recognized that as a profitable, productive group, they wielded significant bargaining power, were provided greater opportunities, and could offer a wider array of products and services to customers and the communities in which they lived.
In 1999, Keystone changed its model from a cooperative arrangement to that of a franchisor and rapidly expanded throughout the Commonwealth to over 110 locations. With greater executive management resources, Keystone also expanded its highly successful Program Division and formed two subsidiaries, Keystone Risk Managers and Keystone Financial & Benefit Resources, LLC.
In 2003, KIG made its first foray outside Pennsylvania, expanding into North Carolina, followed by Virginia in 2005, Indiana in 2006, Ohio in 2008, Kentucky in 2009, Tennessee in 2011, and Georgia in 2012. Keystone has aggressive plans for expansion into several other states.
Today, agency values are increased by maximizing sales volume, by enhancing business reputations in their communities and with insurance carriers, and by value-added services that they would be unable to duplicate as standalone Independent Insurance Agencies.

1454 Crossways Boulevard, Chesapeake, VA | Directions 2332036.778134 -76.241822
Neighborhoods: Greenbrier East
Should have stayed at the Marriot across the street – Horrible- Do yourself a favor and trust the negative reviews- they are all true, the positive ones have to be either LUCK or FAKE. My husband ordered an incredible hulk drink and was charged $17 bucks, so I told the bartender to remove my long island iced tea order. She had not made the drink yet- there was no alcohol or anything at all in the glass (except ice). This bartender refused to remove the long island iced tea order from my drink charge- even though she had not even poured the drink yet. She ignored me and when I asked again she was very rude and told me she wouldn't remove it and that I shouldn't have come to the hotel. She then tried to force me to sign the check that was incorrect. Literally, as I was leaving she yelled for us to come back over and demanded that we sign it. I knew better than to sign it as I was not going to sign anything that said I agreed to pay an amount I didn't owe. Granted, it was not a large amount of money. But it was the principle of the matter. Later, I called corporate and they said the next morning there should be a manager on duty who would resolve this matter. When I went to the front desk another employee sympathized at first, but when I mentioned that we also didn't receive the towels we requested she did a 360 and said no one called. Then she said room '2XX' called. I was in the room next door- what a coincidence. She continued to insist we never called. I told her that all she had to say is that she forgot or sent them to the wrong room- but that there is no reason to accuse me of not actually calling. Obviously I wouldn't make that up and we reached someone when we picked up the phone and hit zero. She then told me she was pregnant with twins and couldn't deal with the stress I was causing her- this was within 5 minutes of our conversation!I am a very professional woman. I did not use profanity or raise my voice (Admittedly, I wanted to). This employee told me "this conversation is over" and that if I do not leave the front desk she was calling the police. I was so upset that I decided to wait. I had seen other reviews on another popular website where the police were called, but I had assumed they were aggressive, loud, customers- Not the case. The police officer came and apparently this is not unusual. When I told him I was not being loud or cursing, he explained this is part of their "procedures at the hotel". He had them make photo copies of my receipt for the manager to review on Monday (it was Saturday and there was absolutely no manager on duty until Monday according to the rude employees). The policeman was more helpful than anyone who worked there. He simply told me that when it was time for me to check out to go ahead and leave. This is where the people of Chesapeake's tax dollars go? There are plenty of hotels nearby. No need to stay somewhere where they really don't appreciate their customers. Even when the manager finally called and left me a voicemail, there was no apology for anything. I didn't even want to deal with anyone at Chesapeake aloft so I just filed my complaint with the Corporate office and am planning to tell anyone who will listen- that this place should not be considered part of 'W Hotels'. We would have received better service at a dollar motel. By the way, the pool is slightly larger than the average jacuzzi. There is NOrestaurant. The halls are shabby. And if you ask for towels- they'll actually tell you that you never called. I may try an Aloft again- But It will NEVER be Chesapeake Aloft.

Long Beach Shliach Rabbi Moishe Engel tells of an astonishing call he received from the Rebbe's office.
Rabbi Yitzchok and Bina Lerman recently joined Taharas Hamishpacha International as new Shluchim in the organization.
15th Century mikvah uncovered in Catalonia, Spain
Taharas Hamishpacha International/Mikvah.org announces a new Kallah Teacher Training Curriculum that will soon be ready for YOU!
For popular entertainer Paula Abdul, there could be no more fitting celebration of her personal sense of rebirth that comes from her connection to Jewish tradition than to be together with more than 750 women on the evening of Feb. 6, honoring the mitzvah of mikvah, and the laws and practice of Jewish family purity.

In today's Brazos Valley Physicians Organization Journal of Medicine report Dr Tyler Kearney talks about shopping for shoes.
"Often when patients come into my office they ask me what's the best kind of shoe to buy. Well that's a very difficult question to answer because it's going to be different for everybody.
Go into the store, pick out a couple of shoes that you like, you're either going to want to buy some either a running or walking shoe. Pick out some that look good to you. Pick them up and the first thing you're going to want to do is to bend the sole of the shoe. The shoe should only bend where your foot bends and that's out by your toes. If you're seeing bending through the arch of the shoe, it's not going to be supportive.
The next thing you want to do is try the shoe on. Shoes have different straps of leather and laces and they hit on different places of your foot and you need to make sure that it's not irritating any of those places. Then you want to take it for a test drive.
Go for a walk in it and make sure it feels comfortable. If you can get out on a tile or hard surface that's even going to be more helpful.
Third thing is if you're really looking for a specific type of shoe, the rocker bottom soled shoe which has a rounded sole on it, has become more popular recently and that takes a lot of the pressure off of your ankle, allowing you to roll off the sole as well.
The Brazos Valley Physicians Organization is a group of independent physicians who are determined to preserve the choice and sanctity of the patient physician relationship. Our vision is that the patient always comes first.

Rhinelander family receives gift after car was stolen while warming up
Submitted: 01/23/2013
- The generosity of a local business brings a happy ending for a Rhinelander family.
The Lund family's Monday started off like it did for many of us- warming up the car.
That's until their truck was stolen, right from their own driveway.
A local business heard their story, and decided they wanted to help out.
Stories like this one sound like they're made for the movies.
" After like 20 minutes of running we noticed the vehicle driving off and it wasn't my wife or me driving," said Eric Lund.
The Lund family's truck was stolen. Right from their driveway in Rhinelander.
"It's kind of a scary thing, your vehicle leaving and not knowing who's in it," said Lund.
But like any good movie, this story has a happy ending.
When Sounds & Motion in Rhinelander heard the Lund's story, they knew they had to help out.
"I read the story about the family who had their vehicle stolen when it was being warmed up and I thought that a remote starter for that family would be a great way to just spread the word about what remote starters can do and some of the advantages they have," said Nate Scholten, owner of Sounds & Motion.
Sounds & Motion installed the Lund family's remote starter free of charge Wednesday afternoon.
" I'm very relieved and overwhelmed, you know? Nate from sounds and motion is a great person and it's an excellent business here, not only did he install a remote starter in the truck for us, but now, we feel safe at home. We don't have to worry about someone stealing our vehicle," said Lund.
It's a relief coming from a business that cares.
"I'm most proud of just the fact that I'm able to help. It's not just me it's all the guys here. They all contribute, significantly," said Scholten.

"I'm going to file cloture on it tonight."
With those words, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced that there will be a cloture vote on the stand-alone "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal bill. And, in what had been the topic of debate all Thursday, Reid has apparently taken the path urged by Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and repeal advocates to get to the vote as soon as possible.
The good news for repeal supporters came on the heels of a good day for supporters of ending the 1993 law banning open gay, lesbian and bisexual military service -- with more Republicans appearing to line up in support of repeal -- and the day after the House passed the stand-alone bill.
The Thursday evening move, though, came only after a loss by the Majority Leader, when he pulled the omnibus spending bill after the Republicans appeared to be coalescing in opposition. As reported by The Hill, "Reid said he had the backing of nine Republicans on the measure but they defected, leaving the measure short of the support needed to move forward. He said he would work with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on a bill that can pass the chamber before time runs out Saturday."
With the omnibus bill pulled, though, Reid had time in the lame-duck Senate schedule. So, tonight, he filed cloture for both the DADT repeal measure, as well as the DREAM Act. The House passed the DREAM Act this past week and passed the stand-alone DADT repeal bill on Wednesday. The DREAM Act vote is to come, Reid said this evening, "fairly early" on Saturday, and the DADT repeal vote is to follow.
Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese -- who earlier in the day had publicly sought for Reid to schedule the repeal vote before Christmas -- said in a statement, "We are gratified that the Majority Leader has scheduled the cloture vote on the DADT repeal bill for Saturday. It's time that senators vote their consciences and move our military and our country forward."
The DADT repeal measure passed by the House on Dec. 15 initially had been passed as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act in the Senate Armed Services Committee and the full House. A motion to proceed to debate on that bill failed on Dec. 9 because it only received 57 of the required 60 votes. Because of the process used for bringing the House-passed stand-alone repeal bill, the initial motion that stopped the NDAA this past week is not needed for the stand-alone bill.
The cloture invoked by Reid tonight is for the bill itself. A successful vote of 60 senators will signal a limited time remaining for debate, at which point a simple majority of senators will be required to pass the bill and send it to President Barack Obama's desk for passage. Additionally, because of the way in which Reid chose to bring the bill to the floor, there will not be any amendments -- which, because of the late time in the session, effectively would kill the bill.
Servicemembers United executive director Alex Nicholson said in a statement, "We are grateful to Majority Leader Reid for following through on his promise to schedule a vote on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' during the lame duck session, and we are relieved that he has now committed to doing so well before Christmas."
Looking to the vote, Solmonese echoed comments made repeatedly by Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, saying, "This has always been an issue of integrity for our military and the brave gay and lesbian service members who serve our country every day. America is ready for a vote and there's no need for anymore waiting."
As for that vote, the count was looking good by this evening. Of the 58 Democrats, the only whose vote appears to be in question is Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), who was the sole Democrat who voted against the NDAA motion to proceed on Dec. 9.
Although Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) had not voted for the NDAA motion, she also had not voted against it. Later, it was found that she had been at the dentist at the time of the debate. This week, she signed on as a co-sponsor of the stand-alone repeal bill sponsored by Lieberman.
The final Democratic question came earlier today, when it was announced that Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has been diagnosed with cancer and has surgery scheduled for Monday. This evening, however, it was reported that he would be present for the Saturday votes.
As for the Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is the lead co-sponsor of the bill.
That -- absent Manchin's vote -- would still leave repeal supporters with only 58 votes. This morning, however, a spokesperson for Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) told ABC News, "Sen. Brown accepts the Pentagon's recommendation to repeal the policy after proper preparations have been completed. If and when a clean repeal bill comes up for a vote, he will support it." So too will Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), whose office confirmed her support for the stand-alone bill to ABC News.
That, if all present and voting, would be the 60 necessary votes. Plus, Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) has announced general support for repeal without specifically endorsing the stand-alone bill and the office of Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) has indicated that he is "sympathetic" to repeal.
Of other potential Republican votes for repeal, GOProud board chairman Christopher Barron told Metro Weekly tonight, "We are working some folks people would expect and some folks people wouldn't expect."
Although he wouldn't name names, among the potential pick-up votes for repeal named by others (after those already mentioned) are five retiring senators: Sens. Bob Bennett (R-Utah); Kit Bond (R-Mo.); Judd Gregg (R-N.H.); George LeMieux (R-Fla.) and George Voinovich (R-Ohio). Of those, Voinovich -- who has split with his party on notable occasions in the past -- is the most likely supporter. The other two names mentioned as possible "gets" for repeal are the newest senator, Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), and Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), whose staff has suggested that he could be supportive of repeal.
Barron said of GOProud's efforts, "We are enlisting some friends and allies with close relationships to the target members to weigh in directly. Honestly, at this point it's direct member contact that is going to be key for in-play votes."
Barron added, "We believe the Toomey announcement has the potential of prying some votes free," referring to a statement earlier today from Senator-elect Toomey (R-Pa.) announcing that he would support a stand-alone repeal bill.
Echoing that, Log Cabin Republicans executive director Clarke Cooper earlier told Metro Weekly that, in addition to the three (Collins, Brown and Murkowski), there are as many as nine other Republicans who could potentially be supportive of repeal.
On Saturday, Dec. 18, potential will be come actual, when the cloture vote -- likely the last meaninglful opportunity for legislative DADT repeal -- is called.
The Palm Center's director, Aaron Belkin, minced no words in a statement tonight about the coming vote.
"As Senators consider the forthcoming vote on the stand-alone 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal bill, what matters most is the reality that prejudice is the only justification left for a vote against repeal," he said. "The Pentagon's own research supplements more than twenty studies that show allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly does not undermine military readiness, and that fears about hypothetical problems are groundless."
Belkin concluded, "Those who reject prejudice will vote to repeal 'don't ask, don't tell,' and those who embrace prejudice will vote to continue this policy."
[Slightly updated on Friday to reflect the full range of Republican senators mentioned as possible repeal votes. -Chris]

Hall call is never easy, but these eight deserve enshrinement
Story Highlights
Roberto Alomar combined speed, defense and hitting and is a clear Hall of Famer
Complete players like Alan Trammell and Barry Larkin should be voted in
Mark McGwire deserves a vote for the Hall of Fame despite his controversy
Every December, my life turns upside down as I break down the Hall of Fame ballot point by point by point by point. I never feel entirely good after finishing my research and sending in my votes. I always feel like I may have left deserving candidates off my ballot.
But, in the end, voting for the Hall of Fame is about drawing lines. Everyone on the ballot had a good major league career, and most had excellent careers. I voted for eight players for the Hall of Fame this year, the most names I've ever checked. Here's a rundown of my views on all 26 candidates, listed alphabetically.
Roberto Alomar
Verdict: Yes
Alomar inspired many emotions in his heated career -- the umpire spitting incident is one of the game's most infamous moments -- and so it might be more telling to look at his career as dispassionately as possible.
Alomar is one of 10 second basemen to steal 400 bases. He's one of six second basemen to hit 500 doubles and one of 12 second basemen to hit 200 homers. He scored 1,500 runs (one of seven), and he drove in 1,000 (one of 14). He won 10 Gold Gloves, which is more than any second baseman ever. He led the league in sacrifice hits and sacrifice flies, which seems to indicate that he would do the little things. And yet he's also one of only two second basemen in baseball history to score and drive in 120 runs in the same season (the other is Rogers Hornsby). He batted .300 nine times -- the only second baseman since World War II to do that.
Put it all together, and Alomar was one of the great combinations of power, speed, defense and baseball intelligence ever to play the game. That sounds like a slam-dunk Hall of Famer to me.
Kevin Appier
Verdict: No
His career didn't last quite long enough, but from 1990 through 1997 Appier was a great pitcher. He led the league in ERA in 1993, and he posted a 121 or better ERA+ in all eight years. Put it this way: His 140 ERA+ over those eight seasons was third among regular starters -- behind a couple of guys named Maddux and Clemens.
Harold Baines
Verdict: No
He didn't hit quite enough to make my Hall of Fame, but his career should be honored. I think that we should start calling "Professional hitters" -- "Baines hitters." As in, "David Ortiz may no longer be the 50-home run man, but he's still a Baines hitter."
Baines hit between .290 and .310 ten times -- more than anyone ever.
Baines hit between 15 and 25 homers 15 times -- more than anyone ever.
Baines hit between 20 and 30 doubles 11 times, scored between 70 and 90 runs eight times and drove in between 88 and 105 runs eight times.
I don't think he's quite a Hall of Famer, but I do think he's the most professional hitter in baseball history and it would not bother me one bit if they opened a Baines Wing at the Hall of Fame and put Chili Davis, Steve Finley, Fred McGriff, Carney Lansford and others in there.
Bert Blyleven
Verdict: Yes
I have spilled way too many adjectives on Blyleven in a rather desperate effort to get people to see what seems obvious to me: Blyleven should be in the Hall of Fame. But I guess if a casual baseball fan asked me to reduce the argument down to three talking points, I would pick these three:
1. He ranks fifth all-time in strikeouts.
2. He won 287 games -- 60 of those by shutout.
3. He won more 1-0 games than any pitcher the last 80 years.
I could -- and have -- gone on and on about Blyleven, but I suppose it's all there if you want to see it. The knock on Blyleven seems to be that he did not do cosmetic things like win 20 games enough times or win 300 for his career. More to the point: The knock on Blyleven seems to be that he does not FEEL like a Hall of Famer. Longtime baseball writer Murray Chass recently found "new ammunition" to knock Blyleven's Hall of Fame case by pointing he did not pitch well for the Minnesota Twins in 1988. Of course, Blyleven was THIRTY-SEVEN years old at the time and had already thrown more than 4,250 innings. Seems pretty harsh to me. Christy Mathewson pitched lousy for the Giants when he was 34, too.
But Blyleven inspires those sorts of emotions within people on both sides of the argument. Some feel sure that he belongs. Some feel sure that he doesn't. I guess the simplest way to say it is: Every eligible pitcher with 3,000 strikeouts is in the Hall of Fame except Blyleven (he has 3,701). Every eligible pitcher with 50 or more shutouts is in the Hall of Fame except Blyleven (he has 60). Every eligible pitcher who has thrown 4,000 innings with a better-than-110 ERA+ is in the Hall of Fame (he has a 118 ERA+). Can we find reasons to keep him out? You can always find reasons. But why?
Ellis Burks
Verdict: No
Remember when 30-30 seasons were the "It" thing in baseball? It still has been done by only 31 players in baseball history. Burks pulled off an even rarer feat -- the 40-homer, 30-stolen base season. Only nine players have done that. Burks did it in 1996 in Coors Field... back when Coors Field was one of the greatest hitting parks in baseball history. How good a hitting park?
In 1996 Burks hit .344, slugged 40 homers and stole 30 bases.
In 1996 Andres Galarraga hit 47 homers and drove in 150 runs, and followed it up with a 41-homer 140-RBI season.
Vinny Castilla hit 40-plus homers three times.
In 1996 Eric Young hit .412 at home, .219 on the road.
In 1995 Dante Bichette hit .340 with 40 homers -- 31 of those at home.
In 1997 Larry Walker hit .366 with 46 doubles, 49 homers and 143 runs scored.
In 1999 Walker hit .379 with 37 homers and 115 RBIs.
In 2000 Todd Helton made a serious run at .400 and hit .372 with 42 homers and 127 RBIs.
That was some hitting park. Burks was a very good player who only twice played 150 games in a season, and as such never had the great counting stats that lead to All-Star Games (he played in two) or awards (he only once got serious MVP consideration... in that historic 1996 season).
Andre Dawson
Verdict: No
Dawson has long been my least favorite decision on the ballot because I liked him very much. He was a classy player who fielded his position well (before his knees went bad), who hit with power, who stole bases, who threw with purpose, who commanded respect from teammates and opponents alike. I know that he's one of only three players to hit 400 home runs and steal 300 bases, and the other two are Barry Bonds and Willie Mays.*
*I did not know, until recently, the the only two players to hit 300 homers and steal 400 bases are... Bobby and Barry Bonds.
But I also believe that the most important thing a baseball player can do on offense is get on base. And Dawson, throughout his career, did not get on base -- not even in his prime. He only once had even a .360 on-base percentage... and that was in the 1981 strike season. He never walked 45 times in a season -- even though he often drew double-digit intentional walks. But this is not just about walks. He did not hit for high batting averages, either. Dawson's .279 career average would be tied for second-lowest among Hall of Fame outfielders. And every Hall of Fame outfielder with an average in his neighborhood -- Willie Stargell, Harry Hooper, Ricky Henderson, Ralph Kiner and Reggie Jackson -- all walked a lot more than him, and therefore had much higher on-base percentages.*
*It has been hinted that Dawson -- had he known that on-base percentage would become the statistic du jour -- would have gotten on base more. I wish I could buy that, but I can't. There was never a time in baseball history that making outs was considered good (except in sacrifice situations). A big part of the job has always been to not make outs. And Dawson made lots of outs.
A good comparison is Dwight Evans. Why? They basically played in the same time period -- they overlapped for 15 years -- and they played almost exactly the same number of games (Dawson played in 19 more). They were both considered superior fielders (they each won eight Gold Gloves). Dawson was much faster -- he stole 30-plus bases three times and Evans never even got double digits -- and Dawson also hit with a bit more power (he hit about 50 more homers in his career). They each drove in 100 runs four times. It seems like a decent edge for Dawson.
But it comes back to the same thing: Evans got on base more. A lot more. In his career he got on base 400 more times than Dawson. That's almost two seasons for Dawson. And, in the process, Evans made more than 600 fewer outs. What does this mean? The advanced stats will tell you that it means a lot. Evans created more than 100 more runs than Dawson. (Evans twice led the league in runs created; Dawson never did.) It means that Evans had more career Win Shares than Dawson (347-340). It means that Evans' OPS+ is markedly better (127-118). It means that Evans has about five more WAR (Wins Above Replacement) than Dawson.
Maybe you don't buy into these statistics. That's fine. Many people don't. Many people would say that Dawson was better than Dewey because he was just better -- you could SEE it -- and he did so many other things well that you should overlook his sub-par .323 career on-base percentage. I see that argument. Dawson was a fabulous baseball player. I would never try to argue someone into not voting for Dawson.
But in the end, to me, getting on base is the best way a player can help his team offensively. It is hugely important when judging a player's contribution to his team -- more important than anything else. I believe that Dawson will get into the Hall of Fame, and I will be happy for him when it happens. But one more time, I voted a regretful "No."
Andres Galarraga
Verdict: No
Known in the early part of his career as a good defensive first baseman, known late in his career as a huge power hitter who led the league in hitting once, homers once and RBIs twice. Missed the 1999 season while undergoing chemo for lymphoma and won the Comeback Player of the Year award in 2000. A fine career.
Pat Hentgen
Verdict: No
Won the Cy Young in 1996, and was quite good in 1997 and then, at 29, he dealt with injuries and was more or less finished as an effective starter. Why? Well, it's only a guess, but it could be that he threw 529 innings in those two seasons -- he's the only pitcher since the strike to throw back-to-back 260-inning seasons.
Mike Jackson
Verdict: No
He did not become a full-time closer until 1998, when he was 33 years old and he had one of the best closer years of the 1990s -- 40 saves, a 1.55 ERA and an 0.875 WHIP. He had 39 saves the next year but was not nearly as effective. And then he was injured and he had four saves the rest of his career.
Eric Karros
Verdict: No
I wonder if there's another player in baseball history who drove in 100-plus RBIs five times and was never selected to an All-Star Game. I'll bet not. I've often written that RBIs are an overrated stat... but that doesn't change that fact Karros did drive in 100 runs more times than Cal Ripken, Andre Dawson, George Brett, Frank Howard, Willie McCovey and, yes, Mickey Mantle.
He also hit more home runs than anyone born in New Jersey (284).
Ray Lankford
Verdict: No
Lankford came up as a slappy hitter who was supposed to just find a way on base and steal bases. He ended up as a power hitter who hit 31 homers in back-to-back seasons, 1997 and 1998. He is 208th all-time in stolen bases and 219th all-time in home runs.
